The test server is not running punkbuster, so if your going to search, take off the pb thing

**Tempus** · 09-28-2007, 10:59 PM

Will try to correct that.

Boost with the speeder and climb (it counts as aircraft for some reason), soaring over a good-sized portion of the map.

My Star Wars nerd knowledge is a bit fuzzy, but I seem to recall that you could adjust the height above the ground that speeders hovered at. I don't think you could <I>fly</I> with them, but...

Anyway. ;P

Mod seems to be mediocre now.

**[tR]Greasy_mullet** · 09-29-2007, 12:21 PM

I think the mod is great. As a modder, I know how much work goes into them. I also know that FS has been working with little to no support from Dice and has even LESS than BF2 mods have. They do not even have modder tools!

For a first release I believe it is great. People expect too much for a first release which sends some mods into a never ending cycle to try and get things perfect before releasing. When you take into account their lack of tools and not even a level design editor, it is absoutly amazing what they have done.

I really hope to see them get the support they deserve from both Dice and the fans.

About the only thing I wish was different is that they would give us a lightsaber pick up kit. :P

The speeder is fun to drive/fly (it could be seen as flying since you're not actually touching the ground). If you pull up, and hit the boost, you do fly up quite a bit (i think i got it up at least 5 m up on endor once).

The main problem i see with the mod is the crashing to desktop and overall unstableness on servers. Other than that, it's a very fun mod, and i think I'll continue playing it for a bit. In any case, kudo's to the FS dev team for all the hard work. They really made a fantastic mod (considering it's one of the first large mods for BF2142).

Endor has a memory leak. All servers will crash on that map. We have taken it out of our rotation. This is verified by the FS dev team.

**Lorax74** · 09-29-2007, 01:57 PM

That figures, I had heard good things about that map. I hope the resolve the issue sooner rather than later.

Yeah, that map was really fun. Needs a few tweaks, but other than that, it's really interesting. So many trees around for cover... it reminded me of POE2.

So can we get a final verdict? Worth the download? Or not.

It's free and less than 900mb (which seems small these days), download it and give it a shot and form you own opinion. I would like to know how many people have it already and how many plan on downloading it.

Zhoed · 09-29-2007, 02:41 PM

I have it and was on the TG server earlier getting some space practice (I suck at flying).

infantry maps are good, I jumped on another server and actually had a squad working together - great fun.

I like the maps, (not so keen on space), this has renewed my interest in BF2142/BF2

Expect my subscription to be re-instated this weekend

Darkstar77 · 09-29-2007, 02:54 PM

im trying to make sure in all downloads sites is it free?

sc1ence · 09-29-2007, 03:32 PM

The mod is free. We are still unsure if we will support it at this time due to some stability issues. Right now we have the mod on our private server. The private server will run first strike for the rest of the day most likely and perhaps tomorrow assuming there are no conflicts with reserved time on it. Some time after this weekend the Admin team will make a decision to support this game or not. The enthusiasm of the TG community for the game will largely determine if we support it. The response so far has been underwhelming...
